ModeratorHi, can you try the following. Disable all other plugins except this one. Then register a new affiliate and check the affiliates role. Let me know what happens.
Thank you

ModeratorI just created another affiliate just to confirm that it does work with the latest version of WP Affiliate Manager plugin and WordPress 4.8.3. It did create the affiliate role for the new user. Do you have any other addons added to WP Affiliate Manage plugin?
If you don’t, can you disable and delete the plugin, then install a fresh copy. Then carry out another test.
Let me know what happens.
Thank you

ParticipantAfter creating a new user, then I login it, and then I go to affliate register page (THe page include [AffiliatesRegister]), after applying affliate then I go to wp admin dashboard to check the user roles

ModeratorHi, are you registering the user under WP Users or are you registering the new user under affiliate registration page?
November 12, 2017 at 2:44 pm #3129gamingtips
Participantyes, register user under WP Users
November 12, 2017 at 2:48 pm #3130gamingtips
ParticipantBecause it support username.
if registering the new user under affiliate registration page, it won’t let you decide username, it will use the email address as the username. For example, when people post in forum, it will show the username.

ParticipantPlease fix this as soon as possible, I mean adding affliate role even the suer registered under WP user

ModeratorHi, unfortunately that is how this plugin works. When a member registers under WP Affiliate it also creates the affiliate role under WP Users.

ParticipantCan you upgrade it as this:
When register a new affliate, check if it is the current logged in user to apply it. if current user apply affliate then don’t create WP user but simply add Affliate Role to the current logined WP user.

ModeratorHi, I have submitted a message to the developers to investigate your request.
Thank you

Keymaster@gamingtips, The plugin doesn’t require the “affiliate” role on an affiliate in order to function properly. It’s just for display purpose so an administrator can quickly identify the affiliates from the Users menu. However, forcing it to apply a role to an existing account might cause issues with other e-commerce/membership plugins that rely on it.
